It's obvious really. No one who hasn't spent a lot of time on planes ever got cancer before. Breast or otherwise.

What it actually did was change the relative motion of conductors and fluxes produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance.

They are just gathering up the news clips for the lazy opening exposition dump.

How do you know he doesn't waste time here too?

What's this education? If Polish people who reside at the northernmost tip of the country radiate more heat we should definitely know about it! (Winter is coming and heating oil is getting expensive...)

lol you're stupid. Kids without parents or guardians have no-one to file a lawsuit for them!

The economics you are working under is broken, when books that are destined for recycling aren't sent to poor countries where children have nothing to read, instead.

Lies and Statistics:

The loom made old tradespeople (30+) permanently unemployed, but employed children (4-8) to replace them. Total jobs increased, total wages lower, more garments sold at cheaper prices, lots of people in permanent poverty, lots of kids with crippling injuries.

He's not involved in AI. Why should he have an opinion on it? Only slashdotters should have an opinion on AI.

God forbid anyone try to make a shithole a bit better

I hope you don't watch the images being generated one line of pixels at a time from top to bottom! It's not worth it. I used to do that for, ahem, research purposes, in the old days.

My inner pedant has been awakened! I must insist you stop mixing measurement units forthwith, or there will be further comments!

A UID is measured in bits, not years. ;-)

With a name like that he may as well have an uncle named Victor!

I don't know what you mean... I thought he was going to build a spaceport on Mars???

It's funny to think that not long ago just getting a bipedal robot to even walk was difficult. WABOT-1 took it's first steps in 1973 and looked like it was made from and Erector set and needed wires to connect it to it's power and control systems. It walked about as well as an old windup kids toy on a flat surface.

The Honda P2 was the first self contained robot that could walk and was introduced in 1996. It walked about as well as a 1950's sci-fi movie showing walking robots.

Honda ASIMO in 2000 was a bit more natural, but still fairly clunky at walking. I believe it could "run" at around 6mph.

The number of advancements in computing, material sciences, etc to get to the point where a bipedal robot can run faster than a person is astounding. In another ten or twenty years we may be looking at general purpose robots who can not only outrun the fastest human but also cook dinner. Hopefully it will be more Big Hero 6 and not Chopping Mall.
